Blue Earth, MN

I come from dusty old desert and you come from circles of trees
We’ve been through white sand, red clay and ghost towns
How we got here well it still beats me
But we’re stuck here in Blue Earth, Minnesota
Just a pit stop off I-90 East
Those midwestern spires, even windmills grow tired
Of rows of cornfields and soybeans

I’m getting ready for bad news I’m bracing myself for the other shoe
If you move on don’t know what I will do
But my blue eyes will be shining Blue tears I’ll be crying
Here in Blue Earth, Minnesota without you

There’s goldenrod there by the roadside And a violet, flowering weed
It’s a beautiful town full of black and white cows You’ll find rainbows in the puddles of gasoline
Yes, right here in Blue Earth, Minnesota How much longer still waits to be seen
Here you’ll discover stay close to your lover If you’re out pumping gas and she’s got the keys

I’m getting ready for bad news I’m bracing myself for the other shoe
If you move on don’t know what I will do
But my blue eyes will be shining Blue tears I’ll be crying
Here in Blue Earth, Minnesota without you

And it’s bad news bad news bad news
While I brace myself for the other shoe
If you move on don’t know what I will do
But my blue eyes will be shining Blue tears I’ll be crying
Here in Blue Earth, Minnesota without you
Here in Blue Earth, Minnesota without you
